If your motherboard has the same DIP switches my Micronics 386/33 has,
one of them should be labelled "relocate EGA/BIOS" or some such (SW1 #4
on mine).  Turn it OFF, and you'll get back the E000 segment.  The "relocate"
is not true shadowing--what my MB does is map in RAM at E000 and then
copy C000-C7FF to E000 and F800-FFFF to E800.

As above, turn off "relocate", and then tell QEMM to shadow ROMs itself.
